CEO / CHAIR

My name is Nora Kelly Kondo.  I am a retired teacher, who taught for 25 years.  My expertise was in English, English as a second language, and college prep.  
I’ve been in recovery since February 25, 1986, and have been an active member of 12 step recovery ever since.
I’ve done much service over the years, mostly in Public Relations.  Lately my focus has been working with the formerly incarcerated community.
I am also a wife, mother of two adults and grandmother of one!

Thank you, Nora K 

I am writing you this statement regarding why I would love to work with you on the board of directors. I love what you’re doing for these women that just get out of prison; trying to make a new start at life and helping them. Guiding them in making better choices and giving them a fresh start  on parole, even just a small part. I would love to be a part of that I think it’s amazing what you do! I would just like to say thank you and hopefully you give me a chance and allow me be a part of this amazing organization.

I’m Art Margolis.  My business background is in the automotive industry, focusing on customer service.  I owned my own company for many years, and managed a large luxury vehicle dealership. After many years of active addiction, I got clean February 3, 2003.  I have been an active member of Narcotics Anonymous since that time, and have been involved in service since my very first meeting. My passion is carrying the message of NA to the still suffering Addict. I bring NA meetings into Prisons, Jails and Youth Facilities in both Northern and Southern California.  Since Covid, some of my service commitments have become virtual.  I have been actively working with the formerly incarcerated population. In my free time I enjoy being with my family, traveling, music and cars.

Thank you, Art
